Exogenous dual delivery of progenitor cell population and therapeutic growth factors (GFs) is one of alternative tissue engineering strategies for osteochondral tissue regeneration. In the present study, an implantable dual delivery platform was developed using coacervates (Coa) (i.e., a tertiary complex of poly(ethylene argininylaspartate diglyceride) (PEAD) polycation, heparin, and cargo insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), in thiolated gelatin (gelatin-SH)/ poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels. Since Coa is able to protect cargo GF and maintain its long-term bioactivity, it is speculated that Coa-mediated delivery of chondrogenic factor IGF-1 with the aid of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) would synergistically facilitate osteochondral tissue repair during physiological regeneration process. Our results indicate that gelatin-SH/ PEGDA IPN hydrogels demonstrated biocompatibility and mechanical properties for a possible long-term transplantation, and PEAD-base Coa exhibited a sustained release of bioactive IGF-1 over 3 weeks. Subsequently, released IGF-1 from Coa could effectively induce chondrogenic differentiation of embedded ADSCs in the hydrogel, by showing enhanced glycosaminoglycan deposition and expression of chondrogenesis-associated genes. More importantly, at 12 weeks post-implantation in a rabbit full thickness osteochondral defect model, the quality of regenerative tissues in both chondral and subchondral layers was significantly improved in dual delivery of ADSC and IGF-1 in Coa encapsulated in gelatin-SH/PEGDA IPN hydrogels, as compared with a single delivery of ADSC only and a dual delivery without Coa. Therefore, we conclude that our Coa-embedded composite hydrogel platform could effectively augment osteochondral tissue regeneration holds promise for a feasible osteoarthritis therapeutic application.
